DeMar DeRozan Agrees with Nuggets on 1-Year Deal for Veteran Minimum, AP Source Says
- On Friday, six-time NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan agreed to a one-year, $3.9 million deal with the Denver Nuggets, joining his fifth team seeking his first championship in his 18th season.
- Denver coaches and front office staff recruited DeRozan in recent weeks to serve as an additional playmaker, securing his commitment over the Miami Heat, Washington Wizards, and New Orleans Pelicans.
- Entering his 18th season, DeRozan maintains durability by appearing in at least 70 games in each of the past five years while averaging 18.4 points on nearly 50% shooting.
- Head coach David Adelman must now decide whether to install DeRozan into the starting lineup or deploy him as a veteran sixth man to anchor bench-heavy stretches.
- The move follows the August trade of Peyton Watson to the Cleveland Cavaliers, which thinned Denver's wing rotation as the team prepares for the 2026-27 season.
